Knowing that his remaining time was short, Jesus did something that he knew his disciples would remember.

When schedules overwhelm
When you need to simply Be Still
It is easy to miss simple opportunities
Opportunities for Holy Pauses
Moments of Sabbath rest
It can be a matter of minutes
It can be a matter of hours
No matter the amount of time
Thank you, Lord, for such moments
Moments to simply Be Still
To Be Still
To Be

“[The] way calls us to a deeper and more radical trust and to realize that the way is made by walking. Each step is shaped by listening to how the divine presence calls us forward, the direction we take, the choices we make, and how much control we are willing to yield.”

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
For a world broken and fearful
For people mistrusting and hate-filled
For people in fear and despair
For all of your children, Lord
I lift this humble prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem et in Terra
Grant Us Peace on Earth
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
On a Sunday afternoon ramble
Along the pathway in Rocky
Birds are singing, the sun is shining
Snow lingers as the melt begins
All that has slumbered during Winter’s darkness awaits
I can see the beginnings of new life
As the days get longer
As the sun shines longer
I am reminded of resurrection
Out of the darkness comes light
Comes a light which cannot be overcome
The Mountain Bluebirds sing and frolic
This is Colorado in Springtime
While we know more snow will likely come
Spring is beckoning to us
Light and Life and Newness
Winter will lose its grip
Until the seasons turn once more
In the rhythmic circle and cycle of life
But for now, we enjoy the singing of the birds
We enjoy the Creeks and Rivers sweeping away Winter’s ice
Spring comes as it does each year
With its reminder of new life and light
Beloved… a beautiful reflection ❤️❤️
Today’s post is a repost from a few years ago, but as I looked at my garden with almost all the walls broken down this is what came to me. It is OK to break down walls, but it is easy for us then to run away from what the wall reveals, or we try to rebuild the walls so that they are even stronger, yet that is not what God asks of us...

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
An energizing morning of worship
Time spent this afternoon in the Park
Hiking, Reflecting, Noticing
We saw our first Bluebirds of Spring
It was indeed a gorgeous afternoon
Time this evening spent with good friends
Now as my eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
Scripture Reading – Psalm 32
Sermon – The Power of Confession
I forgot to record the Scripture Reading 🙄
Amen, Ronnie❤️🐾
Every morning I follow a ritual as inevitable as the rising of the sun and a hot cup of coffee (one Splenda and a splash of cream, please). Reaching into a wicker basket that sits beside the front door, I pick up two leashes and attach them to Toby and Moe, the little mutts who have been in charge of our home for almost a decade.
Out the door we go, and “neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays us from the completion of our appointed rounds.” These rounds include the pups “doing their business,” of course, but there is also a necessary and enlightening bit of exercise. The exercise is for all of us, and the enlightening is my own, for my canine pals always teach me a lesson: Pay attention to your world.
The three of us can walk for half an…
